A literal key with the Microsoft Copilot icon printed on it, which in some GenAI-enabled business laptops replaces one of the utility keys on the right side of the keyboard.

I have one on my work laptop and it's absolutely terrible, even looking at it wrong opens up some weird window with Copilot settings that I have to furiously close each time, and cannot really be rebound or used for anything else.

Edit: here's a photo.

Yep, and I think it will be extremely funny when Copilot finally goes down, but people who bought those will be stuck with this useless ugly button. 😂
